RE: How many stands?
at each area I hunt theres always:
1 - near scrapes
1- between food and beds
1- near the bedroom
...and at least one natural cover...blowdowns or high grass along fencelines....
Try this....sit on the downwind side of a rockwall near a trail in the mornings...it's kinda neat to have them walk right past you...lol.....Gihli suit for those days are a must....
